Intertwined: Our fates and hearts

When I met you again!

Another night without much sleep. And when I finally managed to get some, my alarm rang. I got up and decided to directly take a shower and just stood under the hot water for about 30 minutes. After a long, warm much needed bath, I fixed myself some breakfast and just sat on the couch looking out of the window.

Lost in so many thoughts, and looking at the books I already have and read, I decided to walk to the nearby bookstore, which I saw while moving here. The funny thing about this morning was, I wasn't as sad. I wasn't as gloomy as the weather outside. I was just glad to be alive. And I think this little warm feeling in my heart was because of that blue eyed boy I collided into at the grocery store yesterday.

You are being childish hinata, you don't even know his name. How do you think you will ever find him again? It was true, I had no idea who he was. I had no idea what he did or where he lived. How was I suppose to find him again.

I got dressed in a jeans and purple hoodie. Purple is my favourite color, because it reminds me of the purple sweater, the only sweater my mom knitted for me before she passed on. I still have that sweater with me even though it stopped fitting me quite some while ago.

I reached the shop and was looking around for a romance novel when I bumped into him again. I was startled to see him. How could this be possible? I wanted to meet him and now he is here, in front of me. Hinata show more confidence, at least get his name.

Hey!" He said excitedly "You're the girl from yesterday who gave me that last cup of ramen"

"Hi, you remembered?"

"Hell yes, I remember anyone who gives me ramen"

"Oh, okay" He likes ramen, he remembered the ramen.

"I am Naruto by the way, Naruto Uzumaki. Nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you too, I am Hinata Hyuga"

We chatted a little about being from Konoha University, I paid for my book and just like that we came out of the store. I needed to talk to him some more or spend time with him some more. I need to be bold, I need to be confident. He is going to leave, ask now. And before I could give it much thought, and without realising I had probably turned red as a tomato I asked him, "Will you walk me home?"

"I would love to," he said with a grin.

Ohh gosh, why did I had to see that grin, now I like his grin too apart from his blue eyes.

I kept wanting to a start a conversation but yet stopping myself when I saw it. A cockroach. I don't know what did come onto me, I jumped in Naruto's arms. Seeing that cockroach, I remembered that night in the dorm when Aioni had put cockroaches on me and my bed while I was sleeping. I had gotten up to almost have a heart attack and I had cried for half the day. I had gone to the warden to tell her what had happened and she only laughed on me and said the other girls are just having fun so it is nothing harmful and to deal with it.

"Are you okay?" He asked startled. 

"I am so sorry, I didn't mean to, I saw a cockroach and I hate them." What else am I suppose to say? Tell him? What happened with me at the dorm.

I now realised I was in his arms and I moved away quickly, maybe I made him awkward about the entire situation. And in no time we reached our building. I mentally cursed the building being so near by. I had to quickly say something, "That's my building, I hope it is not out of the way for you?"

"No no not at all, my house is just two blocks away from here" 

"Thank you for dropping me home. I will see you later." later when Hinata?

"Later? Later when?" He said almost reading my thought I felt.

"Umm...I meant I will see you around, we live in the same neighborhood" I quickly tried to cover it up.

"Ohh, I thought you would want to see me later, 'cause.......'cause I would want to."

What? Wait what? You really want to see me again? Oh god, calm down calm down, ask him, "Where?"

"Where? where?" He looks so cute with that confused face.

"I mean where do you want to meet later?" 

"You will hangout with me? Really?" He said rather surprised. He looks like a person who might have a lot of people to hang out with.

"Yeah, I don't have friends as such and you look like a genuine person." I said honestly.

He asked me about eating at Ichiraku's and I agreed. He planned to pick me up from here at 6pm and then we would walk later to Ichiraku which meant more time with him.

"Umm, Na...Naruto, can I...can I get your phone number?" I had to ask for his number.

"Sure thing"

After we exchanged numbers, he said bye and walked away. This day was turning out to be amazing and not at all gloomy like the weather. I see Naruto walk away for a while and then come upstairs. I have to now decide on what to wear. Make it more casual? More dressy? I have no idea. I have never been on a date before. I was not sure what people wear. Wait, is this even a date? I have no idea but I have a feeling it is. After going through some of the tshirts and tops and blouses I have, I decided to short list a few. And I decided to wear a plain plated skirt along with whatever top wear I choose.

I heard the notification sound on my phone, and my heart skipped a beat to see it was Naruto.

Hey, Nartuo here.

Sorry I thought I will just let you know. Is this weird?

Hi Naruto

This is not weird. What are you upto?

I am just lying on my couch
I think I will have some lunch.

What are you having for lunch?

Chicken soup

What will you have?

Ramen :D

This boy really loves ramen I chuckled to myself. I don't know why do I have to think so much. Even if it is a date or it is not, this warn feeling in my chest increased when I met you again. And at this moment I came to a decision, I will hold onto this feeling and I will be okay.
